Cam Newton, QB, AuburnFrom the day he landed on the Big Board for the first time, I've said that Newton's physical skills and underrated ability as a passer could lead him all the way to the top of the draft. In Buffalo, what you have is an ideal foundation for his career. The Bills can keep Ryan Fitzpatrick around and develop Newton at a slower pace. But given Newton's total package of skills and size, and his proven ability as a guy who can adapt, deal with adversity and win, he represents a real possibility to land in the top five.

Oh and a special i told you so to Mr. Scot

So hes good enough to go three but not first. That doesn't make much sense considering the same situation could play out with Clausen as with Fitzpatrick. Not to mention I'd trust Carolinas coaching over the Bill's any day.

Excately!! If the Bills are in need of a QB and should take Cam at #3 then HELLO!!!!!! The Panthers have, if not, a bigger need at QB and there is not much difference between #1 and #3, escp in this draft.

Just because Kiper said it doesn't mean it is going to happen...

i.e. Jimmy Clausen

I know, but if Cam is moving that damn fast up the draft board just after an informal media workout, then some team will feel all tinglely in their jollies where the Panthers could wind up benefiting from it. Remember, once Luck stayed in school this QB class lost it's only bonafied top 3 QB choice. Now it appears one is emerging and what seemingly was a slim-to-none prospect in regards to trading down, now seems to have a little steam to it.

I hope Cam has a moster combine. If so, the team that could benefit the most is us!

So Cam fans, can Kiper be trusted or not? He was Jimmy Clausen's number one fan, something I'm sure you'd be pointing out if he said that Newton would, say, fall out of the first round and be available in the second.

Two diffrences between clausen and newton..Clausen was a loser in college and at best most likely be a good back-up.Cam's a winner and i don't this his "personality" will cause his stock to slide. Number two,Who do you think Has more upside clausen coming out or Newton?

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
